What timeframe is that? 10 years ago, the state of the art core routing platforms were capable of a few hundreds of thousands of FIB routes, today it seems to be 1-2M for the more expensive platforms. If you're talking about 2020 then by then 3-4M might be working well, but you'd still spend a lot more than than needed in converging a network with that many prefixes. For the good of the Internet, let's not put more prefixes in DFZ than needed. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
